2011 Food Festival Season

GryosLast weekend was the kick off to food festival with Oktoberfest in Addison.   I know Stacey is usually excited about this time of year, maybe not as much as I am.   There is something about eating food out of a tent, and even better if you need tickets 😎

Running with Water – Going the Distance

Did my first “test run” today with a new way to carry water.  For those up north they might think this is unnecessary but when it is 85 degrees and 60-70% humidity at 5 am… water is necessary for any runs of good length.  The water sloshed around a bit but think I can get used to it on some longer runs, on the shorter and faster runs I think I can go with it 1/2 full and still have plenty.

I typically run with a water belt with 4 small bottles on my long runs but it does not seem to be enough plus it has been cutting into my sides…some like to run with bottles in their hands but I just have never been able to stand that for long as my hands get too sweaty.   I always thought the bikers have an unfair advantage as they can have tons of water with them and us runners could not… seems they finally figured out how to make a pack that does not completely annoy you while running.   As for getting more sweaty with it…at the point it is pouring off me I don’t think this made it any worse.

Should get some good use over the next few months as I try to get up to 50+ miles a week for the white rock.

Maybe now I can carry a small towel and can jump in for a swim on the Sunday trail run with @Marc Swinney

Picture day – Kindergarten

It is picture day and Andrew had some specific requirements for Mommy to buy some new clothes for the pictures.   He said that he wanted to look like daddy and have a tie.   I told him it is really better to wear a jacket and no tie, but I can only teach suiting up so fast.

Andrew Starts Kindergarten

Where has the time gone in every sense of the word.  I have been a little slow on my posts lately with the new job and trying to keep up with Andrew.  Sometimes I wonder what I am doing as the weeks seem to just fly by.   I felt today deserved a pick little post as Andrew is starting school today at Forest Vista Elementary.   It seems like we just brought him home, but that was so long ago now.

Here is a picture of the little man, and yes that is a tie.  For those that work with me I had no help in picking out or suggesting what he should wear, and really I was against the idea.   Andrew gets to see Daddy dressed up all the time he said he wanted a tie, which every time he and I go shopping for stuff for him we wants a shirt and tie.  Hopefully a future CEO of a fortune 100 company, it is hard to be over dressed. As always SUIT UP!

One project that I am thinking about and want everyone’s opinion on is a list of must see destinations before Andrew gets too old to want to go, or to busy with sports (which he maybe already but that is another story)    Some thoughts I have so far are:  DC & Philadelphia , Rocky Mountain National Park, Yosemite,  Red wood forest, Yellowstone,  Glacier National Park,  Grand Canyon,  Alaska.  The lists is not exhaustive but please add your comments of other potential spots as I can think of a lot more I need to add as I look back on the last sentence.  So you ask WTF am I thinking?  The goal is to try and give Andrew the ability to experience the see the vastness of America, its history and help establish a stewardship of the land and country (and no I am not a member of the sierra club).   At the end of this we might have a good travel guide on our hands…and then we tackle Europe & Asia…
